Pricing for AMD's desktop A-series APUs has been leaked and once again AMD is competing on price. From the looks of it prices will be low enough to undercut Intel's current Core i3 processors.

If you're planning to give your desktop an upgrade soon, the following news might be of interest to you. Fudzilla has managed to dig out preliminary pricing for two of AMD's upcoming A-series APUs, the A6-3650 and A8-3850. AMD plans to undercut Intel in a bid to win more enthusiasts over to its side.

The quad-core A6-3650, which is clocked at 2.6GHz and features a HD 6530D integrated GPU, will supposedly retail for as low as US$126. In contrast, Intel's dual-core i3-2100 processor is currently going for US$117. The more expensive A8-3850 APU, which also features four processor cores clocked at 2.9GHz and a HD 6550D GPU, will reportedly be offered at US$150. This is only slightly more expensive than Intel's dual-core i3-2120 processor, which is currently retailing at US$138.

In addition to these AMD will also have even cheaper sub-US$100 parts. AMD is banking heavily on graphics performance to win over budget-conscious gamers and enthusiasts.
